GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Read all instructions before using Heater.
2. Use this Heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock, or
injury to persons.
3. Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical require-
ments of the Heater.
4. Extreme caution is necessary when any Heater is used by or near
children or invalids and whenever the Heater is left operating unat-
tended.
5. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounded plug that must
be inserted into a matching receptacle. Under no circumstances should
the ground prong be cut off the plug. Where a two-prong wall recep-
tacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle installed in accordance with the National Elec-
trical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes and ordinances. This
work must be done by a qualified electrician, using copper wires only.
DO NOT USE A THREE-PRONG ADAPTER. IMPROPER CONNEC-
TION MAY CAUSE THIS RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. USE OF SUCH
ADAPTERS IS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA.
6. Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords because the exten-
sion cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. If they must be used,
minimize the risk of overheating by ensuring that they are UL listed, a
minimum No. 14 AWG, rated not less than 1875 watts. Never use a
single extension cord to operate more than one Heater.
7. Do not operate any Heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the Heater
malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return Heater
to authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical ad-
justment or repair.
8. Unplug power cord before servicing or moving the Heater. Always un-
plug Heater when not in use.
WARNING:
DO NOT DEPEND ON THE ON/OFF SWITCH AS
THE SOLE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING POWER WHEN SER-
VICING OR MOVING THE HEATER. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD.
9. Do not insert or allow fingers or foreign objects to enter any ventilation
or exhaust opening as it may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage
the Heater. Do not block or tamper with the Heater in any manner while
it is in operation.
Rev. B 12/05
10. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any
manner. Do not place on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may
become blocked.
11. Always place the Heater on a stable, flat, level surface when operating, to avoid
the chance of the Heater overturning. Locate the Power Cord so the Heater or
other objects are not resting on it. Do not run Power Cord under carpeting. Do
not cover Power Cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange Power
Cord away from room traffic and where it will not be tripped over.
12. This Heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin
touch hot surfaces. Always use handle when moving this Heater. Keep
combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes
and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the Heater and keep
them at least 1 foot (0.3 m) from the sides and rear.
13. A Heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. It must NOT be
used in potentially dangerous locations such as flammable, explosive,
chemical-laden or wet atmospheres. This Heater is intended for gen-
eral use ONLY.
